Pros

Bank of New York Mellon understands and values the need for employees to have a good work/life balance. Workers at BNY Mellon have a reasonable degree of autonomy and flexible working arrangements are readily available. An attitude of trust pervades the workplace.

Cons

There seems to be a slow road to promotions. There is a newfound focus on efficiency (aka cost cutting) which may impact moral & work experience in the future. Salaries are middling at best and overall employee longevity reduces prospects for rapid advancement.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
